Radiance Gardenia

Radiance Gardenia stands at Survey No. 44 in Chikkagubbi, pincode 560077, reached by turning off Hennur Main Road on the north-east side of Bengaluru. Most daily journeys will start by returning to Hennur Main Road and heading towards work, school or the shops from there.

The developer has not published distances or travel times to any office, school, hospital or station, and no landmark is named, so we do not quote any here. Test the trips that matter to your family yourself. Drive to your workplace at your usual hour, come back in the evening rush, and try the morning school run on a weekday.

The link road between Hennur Main Road and the gate deserves a close look, since you will use it every day. Check its width, lighting and how it copes after heavy rain. Because homes are due only from December 2027, the area around the site may change before you move in. Visit a few times over the months and note new construction nearby, including any that might affect your view or access.

Radiance Gardenia offered ten layouts, and the developer has sold all of them. Villament buyers had four plans: 3 BHK at about 2,036 or 2,169 sq ft, 3.5 BHK at about 2,145 or 2,251 sq ft. Row house buyers had four more: 3 BHK at about 2,277 or 2,452 sq ft, 4 BHK at about 2,940, 5 BHK at about 3,422. A studio (about 368 sq ft) and a 1 BHK (about 536 sq ft) complete the list. Sizes are built-up; ask for carpet areas.

Price is agreed with the owner, who will want back what they have paid plus a premium. GST applies to an under-construction home, so ask how it falls on the instalments still due. Stamp duty and registration are paid on the sale deed, and because the land share is included, they cost more than on a flat. Get these in writing:

• Total paid so far and the balance still owed to the developer
• Premium the seller wants over the original price
• Developer's transfer fee for moving the booking
• GST on the remaining instalments
• Parking, clubhouse and maintenance deposit charges
• Stamp duty and registration on the full value

Radiance Gardenia holds Karnataka RERA registration number PRM/KA/RERA/1251/446/PR/091122/005430. Search it on rera.karnataka.gov.in to see the approved plan, the quarterly progress reports and the completion date the developer has declared. Compare that date with the December 2027 possession promise.

Taking over someone else's booking needs extra care. Ask for these before you pay anything:

• The seller's allotment letter and registered agreement for sale
• Receipts for every payment made to the developer
• A letter from Radiance Realty consenting to the transfer
• The RERA certificate and sanctioned plan showing the unit
• Title documents and an encumbrance certificate for the land
• A loan closure or bank consent letter, if the seller has a loan

Sign a fresh agreement with the developer, or an endorsed transfer of the old one, so that your name is on record. Continue the remaining payments against construction stages, not up front. At handover, collect the occupancy certificate, register the sale deed and get the khata transferred into your name.

Radiance Gardenia spreads 249 homes over 11.6 acres; villaments occupy low blocks no higher than four storeys, while row houses are grouped in separate lines. In a campus like this, position shapes daily life: a corner row house catches daylight and breeze from more sides than one in the middle of a row. Ask for the master plan and find the exact unit you are buying. All images are as planned by the developer.

The amenity list is long. A day could begin with a round of the walking track, aerobics or a session on the yoga deck, then the gym or the pool and pool deck. Sports fans have cricket nets, a basketball court and a half court, a badminton court and a squash court. Children get a play area and a sand pit.

Quieter hours can go to the library, a game of chess or carrom, or a film in the AV room. There is table tennis and a pool table indoors, and a gazebo outside. Larger gatherings use the banquet hall or the open amphitheatre, and a barbecue area suits weekend evenings. Ask when each facility is expected to open.
